... human genomic DNA is extraordinarily complex asit requires sifting through the more than one billion base pairs of DNA to find a particular base pair of interest. Once that base pair is located, it is then necessary to determine if either of the bases is mutated (i.e., has SNPs). Nanosphere's technology can ...

...ating the most primitiveof living organisms, which requires synthesis of several thousandgenes, would be prohibitive, costing millions of dollars and years oftime. The system developed by Gao and her partners employs digitaltechnology similar to that used in making computer chips and therebyreduces cost and t...

...e that respond well to enzyme infusions, treatment requires weekly injection of a large amount of the enzyme. "Gene therapy has the potential to reverse the course of the disease with a single treatment," Koeberl said. The researchers delivered the glycogen-degrading enzyme with an adeno-associated virus (A...

... In general, the development of any new technology requires a systematic understanding of the underlying physics. This latter constraint applies to all length scales: if one wanted to build a robot which walks over water, for instance, a human-like robot is a bad idea while a spider-like robot is a much bette...

...afterexposure.The current licensed anthrax vaccine requires six doses over an18-month period to provide immunity. The researchers looked at whatimpact a new and improved anthrax vaccine could have, and evaluated arange of vaccine characteristics, which could begin to provide immunityranging between 7 and 28 d...

...a cell," says Gourley. "To see them in the old way requires a time-consuming process like fluorescent tagging or a chemical reagent. We've found we can see them immediately by light alone." The techniques could be critical to advancing early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. More technically p...

...ependent or performance-based learning. "That all requires paying attention to how we're doing, experimenting with different things, and gradually getting better," said senior author Michael Brainard, assistant professor of physiology at UCSF, whose lab is funded in part by a grant from HHMI.

...use of a vaccine. The traditional egg-based method requires 3 to 6 months to develop the vaccine. With our cell-based method, the time from receipt of the virus strain to the final vaccine product would be shortened to approximately 1 to 2 months." Today's flu vaccines are prepared in fertilized chicken eggs...
